City walks is a novel idea and great way to view a city. Just a not of mention, the ads placed all over the screen make it difficult to even use (at least on mobile). Of course you can use ad blockers and such to make it more useful.

That site is a hot mess and unusable.

I did get a good laugh from the copious use of NaNs for the date of the next walk.

KK, I don't know if you've ever been to jetpens.com (I assume you must have at some point), but they have many varieties of the Kurutoga available there, in particular, a couple of 0.3 mm and 0.7 mm. https://www.jetpens.com/search?q=+Uni+Kurutoga+Advance&v=2

And if you haven't been to jetpens.com, be warned it is a rabbit-hole of writing implements and stationery paraphernalia.

Email like a Boss: I once read that you should avoid apologizing as often as you can unless it's a serious matter. Otherwise you are sort of beating yourself up or possibly admitting fault when you might not be at one. This guide lines up with that.

I also liked the one about expecting an update rather than just wanted to check in. It's a bit more forward which is good in that situation.

“ The arrival of reliable cheap fusion energy on Earth would be a revolution nearly as important as AI”

Nearly as important as AI?

We don’t yet know where AI is going, but cheap fusion would immediately change everything in clearly anticipated ways.

I agree also. I'm really tired of companies calling the LLM parlor tricks 'AI.' I would venture to guess that actual AI might be as many as 20 or more years away as well.

Strongly disagree. IMO LLM will rival internet as an innovation within five years. However cheap fusion would rival the innovation of fire.

I'm not saying LLM doesn't have its uses, I'm saying it is not AI. I think it is misleading to call it AI.

Agree! That was such a weird thing to say.
